Bullock Waggon Crossing a Drift on the Umbelois River-Swaziland, 1902
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the colonial era. Taken by Donald McCracken, it showcases a bullock wagon cautiously navigating its way across the Umbelois River in Swaziland. The Mbuluzi River, also known as the Umbeluzi, flows peacefully beneath the sturdy wooden wheels of the cart. In this scene of daily life, local people can be seen accompanying their precious cargo through lush greenery and towering trees that frame the riverbanks. The oxen pulling the wagon demonstrate their strength and resilience as they forge ahead through shallow waters. The image evokes a sense of adventure and exploration within an African landscape untouched by modernity. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and challenges faced by early travelers in this remote region. As part of Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War" this print transports us back to an important period in history - specifically during Britain's involvement in conflicts such as Boer Wars. Through McCracken's lens, we glimpse into a world where transportation relied heavily on animal power rather than mechanized vehicles. This remarkable piece offers not only an insight into colonialism but also highlights nature's role as both obstacle and provider for those who dared to traverse its untamed paths.
